Treat Your Mixes to Accurate Monitoring

Hear everything loud and clear with the KRK VXT8 active studio monitors. Designed to widen your studio's sweet spot, KRK's flagship monitor is impressively bi-amped with 180 Watts and packs an 8-inch Kevlar woofer for serious lows, plus a domed tweeter for sublime highs. Whether you use the VXT8s as nearfield monitors in your studio's control room, or as your trusted speakers in your home mixing environment, these powerful monitors will provide accurate sound reproduction you can rely on for a range of monitoring applications.

There's That Sweet Spot

No matter what kind of music you pump through the VXT8, you'll be rewarded with a generous sweet spot and extended bass response that's clean and articulate. These studio monitors feature a domed silk Ferrite tweeter for fast transient response, along with an updated woofer design with a stiffer, lighter cone that provides low distortion and seriously awesome low-end performance. Because both the tweeter and the woofer have vented formers, you can push them really hard without them overheating or compromising your mix with the effects of power compression.

Looks Good and Sounds Better

Like other monitors in KRK's VXT Series, this one sports a curvy ABS enclosure that enhances the VXT8's overall performance with extended low-end, superior imaging characteristics, low resonance, a higher level of structural integrity, and reduced port turbulence. Its cabinet design features a baffle contour that eliminates diffraction distortion, and the front-firing slotted bass port annihilates boundary coupling, so even at high SPLs, the VXT8 is able to deliver stellar lows for all your bass monitoring needs. KRK's VXT8 will complement any music in any room.

The domed tweeter (comprised of true silk for fast transient response) and the woofer design (with its stiffer, lighter cone that provides low distortion and extended low-end) both have vented formers to remove heat and reduce the effects of power compression -- enabling these monitors to maintain their sonic signature.

With uncompromising attention to detail that includes tamper resistant switch covers, integrated Omni Mount support and more, the VXT Series is an outstanding choice for a broad range of monitoring applications.

"Love 'em!"

Sound:
Awesome! They made an immediate difference in the way my mixes came out. Like night and day. Really convinced me I made the right decision. These will not make your music sound better, they will make you a better musician.
Feature:
Being able to adjust the levels of each monitor helps them adapt to my less then ideal environment. I was concerned having them near a wall would create a muddy mess, but after fine tuning them, they sound great!
Ease of Use:
Having never built a studio setup before, I found it pretty easy to set these up. Plug and play seems to be an appropriate description. Other then being pretty heavy and having a bad back, I had no problems.
Quality:
These are solid. They feel like they are built like a tank. Big difference from some other monitors I was considering. No rattling, not cosmetic defects... and pretty damn sexy to look at!
Value:
I almost went with the RPG5's because of cost concerns, but since I found these here on Zzounds, I had to go for it, and I am so glad I did. The quality and sound will help if I ever expand my setup to a larger location. These are not the least expensive alternative out there but after using these and knowing what I know now, I would have kicked myself for not getting these.
Manufacturer Support:
So far, I haven't needed it, but I do wish there was a grill attachment for these like I have seen for the VXT4's and VXT 6's.....
The Wow Factor:
These are gorgeous! Even when they are off I enjoy sitting in front of them. It's rare to find something that works well and looks great doing it. I get alot of "Damn!!" comments when people first see them, then I turn them on and let them do their magic!
Overall:
I have a friend that has these and has made some great sounding productions with them so I knew what they were capable of, but being my first set of monitors, I was a little worried about sinking so much money into a product, but these turned out to be everything I was hoping they would be.

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

"BUY THEM IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE"

Overall:
These monitors are awesome, I have no complaints about the sound. KRK's service is the worst service I have ever had in my life. I've been waiting 2 months for them to ship me a replacement part and every time I call them they just say they don't know where the part is and they'll get on it. I would not recommend this product to anyone since other monitor companies with excellent customer support make an equal product.
